EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a bustling scene at the Irkutsk Flea Market between 1904 and 1914. The market, located in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia, Asia, was a vibrant hub of communication and cultural exchange during the early 20th century. The image captures the essence of the meeting of frontiers, as people from various backgrounds and walks of life gathered to buy and sell goods. The market is filled with a diverse crowd, with figures haggling over merchandise displayed on carts and tables. Horse-drawn vehicles line the streets, adding to the sense of activity and movement. Buildings in the background, including the impressive Aktsionernoe Obshchestvo Granberg, add to the urban landscape. The postal service is also evident in the scene, with a post office visible in the upper left corner. This detail underscores the importance of communication networks during this time period. The use of chromolithography, a popular printing technique during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, adds to the rich colors and detail of the image. The Irkutsk Flea Market was an integral part of the city's cultural heritage and served as a reminder of the diverse and dynamic nature of life in Russia during the early 1900s. This print, created between 1904 and 1914, offers a glimpse into the past and transports us back in time to experience the sights, sounds, and energy of this historic marketplace.
